Weather knocks out Florence Huskies-Fountain-Fort Carson dual

Florence's dual against Fountain-Fort Carson on Wednesday night was cancelled due to the bad weather.

FHS Athletic Director John Ward said on Wednesday morning that the dual will not be made up.

On Thursday, coach Bob Masse and his Huskies are scheduled to travel to Salida for their final Tri-Peaks League West dual of the year. A win against the Spartans would ensure the Huskies a share of the T-PL West title. Florence lost to The Classical Academy and beat Colorado Springs Christian School, but CSCS beat TCA.

Florence will travel back to Salida on Saturday for the T-PL crossover. This year, the team will wrestle two duals to decide the final T-PL standings.

Florence will then turn all its attention to the Class 3A Region 4 tournament. The top four placers from each weight class will qualify for the following week's state tournament. Florence will have to deal with tough teams such as Alamosa, Dolores Huerta, CSCS, Centauri and Monte Vista, among others.
